29: Shaun of the Dead (feat. Loimer Gruner Veltliner)

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

Part 5.1 of IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I WANT WINE)

How does the iconic bromance of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost compare to that of our hosts?

Will our hosts once again bemoan abusive practices in their respective industries? Does this movie’s finale land differently in the hellscape of 2022 than it did back in 2004? How does director Edgar Wright use “the language of action movies to depict the quotidien,” and will Jamie let Scott get away with saying something that pretentious? Shamble like a reanimated corpse over to that “Play” button and you might just find out!

• SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004) is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. It is available to rent wherever you get your VOD movies.
• The 2020 Loimer Grüner Veltliner from Kamptal, Austria is available from Wine.com for $25 USD. We used the 2019 vintage for the recording of this episode.
